season off on the right foot by
turning back the Oakland semi
pro club 8-7 in the tenth inning
n Finlijr field Friday night.
The Chiefa had a beautiful
chance in the bottom halt of the
ninth inning to send the 200 or
more customers home early but
failed.
Stan Norby started the ninth inn
ing rally oy slamming out a borne
run, making the score 6-7, with the
Chiefs one run behind. The Chiefs

fly into left field scoring Baker
and tieing up the ball gam at
J-7.
Tex Chandler, a risht or left
handed switch hitter, capable of
hitting a very long ball that could
break-up any ball game, was next
to step up to the plate. Chandler
had Cole feeling the heat vith a
3-1 count and the bases loaded.
However. Cole caught Virg Sand
ers off third base and retired the
side, throwing the game into the
extra inning.
Retired Oaks
' In the tenth inning "Buck" Buck
ley, the fourth pitcher the Chiefs
used in the tight contest, quickly
retired the Oaks, allowing only
one of the Oaks to reach first.
It was up to the Chiefs to pull
the game out of the fire. Chandler
got a clean hit to put him on
first. Dick DeBernardi came
through in the clutch with a single
into right field to put the Chiefs
in a scoring position. Norby then
flied out. Lovel Baker, at bat four
times during the evening without
a hit, won the gall game for the
Chiefs by hitting along fly ball
into right field which scored Chand
ler. The ball game opened with a
tight pitching contest between the
Oaks Roy Long and Chiefs Wally
Richardson. Long allowed only one
hit in the first three innings, strik
ing out eight of the Chiefs batters.
Richardson did almost as well al
lowing only two hits with nine
strikeouts.
West Hits Homer

tom of the fourth, when Norm
West hit a home run into center
field. Buckley and George Sanders
also scored in the fourth frame to
give the Chiefs a 3-0 lead.
The Oaks came back in the fifth
inning to tie up the ball game at
33 as Ganti, Earl Plueard and
Jones crossed the plate.
It began to look bad for the
Chiefs in the sixth inning as Ho
gan, Stan Long and Ganti all
scored to give the Oaks a 6 3 lead
going into the bottom of the sixth
frame. But G. Sanders and Buck
ley scored for the Chiefs to give
the Roseburg club a one run defi
cit going into the seventh.
In the seventh frame, Hogan
scored for Oakland to give the vis
itors a 7-5 advantage. Both pitch
ers. Cole for Oakland, who entered
the game in the seventh inning,
and Buckley, who started for the
Chiefs in right field, kept the game
under control until the wild ninth
inning.
Norm West won the honor of
hitting the first home run on Fin
lay field this season. Virg Sanders
got the first hit of the season for
the Chiefs in the first inning.
' Dick DeBernardi led the Chiefs
hitting with two hits for five trips

Film On Ducks
Here Two Nights
The duck hunter who haa often
wished ducks didn't fly so fast,
and that they could be brought
down much closer will have an op
portunity to at least see pictures
of ducks at close range and in
slow motion, the way he would like
to have them when he ia in the
blind.
Roseburg Rod and Gun club has
arranged with Major H. C. Tobin,
U.S.A. Ret., Portland, state repre
sents si ve of Ducks Unlimited, to
present that organization's new mo
tion pictures, said to be among the
most interesting and spectacular
films ever made of migratory wa
terfowl. Kenneth Gilkeson. club president,
reported today that shows will
be held two days, Wednesday and
Thursday at the Roseburg junior
high school auditorium.
One of the two films to be
brought to Roseburg was shown
several weeks ago at a meeting of
the Roseburg club. Sportsmen who
saw the picture have been de
manding return for a public pre
sentation, proclaiming thai it is a
picture every nature lover should
see. In addition to the film pre
viously shown. Major Tobin will
present another and reportedly
more exciting film, released
within the past few weeks.
. "These pictures will be appre
ciated by everyone who loves the
outdoors, regardless of whether or
not he is interested in hunting
birds," said Gilkeson. "They are
colored films showing many spec
ies of migratory waterfowl in rest
ing and nesting areas and are
highly spectacular from the stand
point of scenery alone.
"Birds are shown in formation
at full speed and in slow motion.
Landings and takeoffs are shown
at close range and slow speed,
emphasing the beauty and grace
; of the waterfowl."
I A moderate admission cost will
I be charged, Gilkeson said, to pay
the cost of the shows. Profits, if
1 any, will be used by the Roseburg
I club in its conservation activities.

If the citizens of Seattle were to

are that Jim Wilson, switch hitting

would win by a landslide.
For Wilson is one of those base
ball rarities who hits 'em as well

and batted the last place Rainiers

Wilson scattered five hits among

Kelly started it by strolling out
to the mound and whispering to
Muncrief. Then he relayed addi

Hollywood Manager Fred Haney,

that without pulling your pitcher.

The explosive Dick Wakefield
case was shoved back into Com

pended the 29-year-old flyrhaser
without pay yesterday shortly af
ter they had been ordered to take
him back in the deal with the
Chicago White Sox that didn't jell.
Wakefield, said he's give George
Weiss, general manager of the Yan
kees, "48 hours to talk it over with
me as a gentleman."
"If he doesn't do It." he added,
"my alternative is an appeal to
the commissioner."
"He will not play again with (he
New York Yankees," Weiss de
clared. A few hours earlier the commis
sioner had voided the April 28 deal
that was supposed to send Wake
field to the White. Sox for a sum
of cash and outfielder Johnny Os
trowski. Wakefield wouldn't report to the
White Sox unless they restored a
15,400 pay cut from his 1949 salary
at Detroit, giving him $22,500 for

Waterfowl Kill In 1949
Far Exceeded 1948 Bag
WASHINGTON (,W The fish
and wildlife service estimates hunt
ers killed 18.500,000 ducks and
geese last fall 1,500,000 more
than in 1948.
Albert M. Day, director of the
service, said liberalized hunting
regulations accounted for the in
crease. The number of hunters in
the field in 1949, he aaid, was 1,
676.400, about 10 percent fewer
than in 1948.
"In addition to an increase of
10 days in the length of the shoot
ing season, hunters had greater
hunting opportunity last fall be
cause large flocks were con
centrated in the steadily diminish
ing areas still suitable for migra
tory waterfowl," day said.
"Also, millions of ducks and
geese remained in the United
States during the mild fall instead
of wintering in Mexico or other
southern points, which is their nor
mal procedure."
